the annoying thing about doing the hardware and software of a project is that sometimes you want to work on the software part but the hardware part isn't there yet
and you don't want to work on the hardware right now
finally got a ammeter on the power. So right now this thing is idling at 200-250mA (I haven't tried optimizing that yet) Copying a floppy disk bumps it up to 350-400mA The total usage indicator says 11mAh after zeroing it and copying a disk
@sif @epithumia hmm. I'm not sure what a "cheseburger" design would be, but I'll have to figure it out for more portmanteaus.
Hamburger vs Hotdog has to do with how the machine "eats" floppies: hotdog has a drive at the front, hamburger has a drive facing to the right (or left, I suppose)
The names make more sense in my head, but they're also references to designs I haven't actually created yet, so I can't explain them very well
I went to find this GIF in the thread but couldn't locate it, apparently I forgot to post it? this is when I accidentally added a decal, and it had some interesting behavior
@SvenGeier well I'm still probably going to do one of those. HAMBOG is mainly a stopgap so that I have some hardware, no matter how janky or ugly, so I can work on software for now. Eventually that same software will run on a more elegant hamburger/hotdog

heh [INTERIOR, smoky room. An ASSESSOR puts out a cigarette and fiddles with a scope of a device pointed at a nervous SUBJECT across the table] Assessor: Ok let’s begin. You see a turtle, it’s on its back, helpless. But you don’t stop to turn it over. Why? Subject: It’s… it’s trauma Assessor: What’s that? The turtle is trauma? Subject: I don’t like the last part of this movie so I put the second laserdisc in upside down and play it instead. Assessor: So you just watch the turtle, frozen? Subject: I still think about the movie and time goes by then I turn it off Assessor: Ok, so what’s the movie? Subject: Kissing Jessica Stein Assessor: That movie never had a two disc release.

I'm having kind of the opposite problem, I want to 3D print something, but the folks that write the software for my bed sensor didn't allow for round beds like mine. I'm pretty sure the fix should be minimal, but to do it myself I'd have to learn enough python to read enough of their code to know where I need to add the functionality, then figure out how to do that (which, as I said, *should* be simple enough, I'm pretty sure I understand what needs to be done at a pseudocode level).
@NanoRaptor And spend the next three months tinkering and chasing bugs in the emulator, instead of doing the software or hardware.... Or is that just me?

in reply to Foone🏳️⚧️ • • •did some relatively quick 3d print design so I can do hardware soon.
also I think my disk is dying in front of me: I tried to write an 80 track image, and it failed at track 49. I try again, and it fails at track 39
I'm trying again, for science

rather than just whacking print as soon as I've yanked HAMBOG3 out of the printer

in reply to Foone🏳️⚧️ • • •HAMBOG2 was mainly printed so it wouldn't be completely broken like HAMBOG1 (HAMBOG1 is only partially 3d printed, some of it is tape)
but it had problems I fixed in HAMBOG3, which is printing now.

You've got 10 minutes before the guard comes back to the mainframe room.
You've got to image the floppy containing all of the stolen breakdancing moves before he gets back
it just needs a tape deck too so you can jam out while you image
